Sferics just southwest of Cornwall now in the plume.

Good sign of potential.

Just saw lightning in it on sat24, not very active but here's hoping.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 3:17am

Yup, as expected it's kicking off - headed for southeast

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/infraPolair

This is active now - lid being removed from the cloud tops and towers going up.

Sods law says one of three things will happen.

1. It fires over the Irish Sea
2. It fires west of Dublin. Good for Kildare bad for D6/D6w parts of Dublin
3. It goes mental over Wicklow, hits the mountains and goes pop and we just get rain.

I would love, direct overhead thunder in D6 but its has not happened in years. (Last strike within 1km of my home was in 2008!!)

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 3:50am

Estimated time of Boardsies being woken up in coastal Waterford, Wexford with a "wtf was that!?" - 5:15

pad199207 · 29-06-2019 4:03am

Looks like Hirlam was spot on.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 4:09am

Cloud tops shooting up. Could be some localised flooding issues in the next few hours.

pad199207 · 29-06-2019 4:17am

Don’t ya know it will all die a death the minute it hits land

It won't

29-06-2019 4:23am

Getting more active by the hour, just hope it give something to Carlow before I have to head to bed around 10 Am and hope it doesn't decide to P1ss me off by heading more east or west lol. Or I hope I don't miss it by the time I get home lol.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 4:23am

Come on sun - god damn it get your ass up

This is our chance!

29-06-2019 4:26am

Met Eireann picked up on it , latest report from 03:13

Scattered thunderstorms moving in to affect parts of the east and southeast this morning. Largely dry elsewhere with hazy sunny spells developing and just isolated showers. Showers in the east clearing this afternoon with good sunny spells breaking through but further showers will push in to affect parts of the southwest and west. Another warm day with highest temperatures of 19 to 24 degrees in moderate southerly breezes.

Thinking the same thing myself, quiet all night in work soon as I head home to bed the action may start...

Or God forbid, may have passed, that would be a right kick in the hole altogether......

One does not simply go to bed when storms are knocking on the door.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 4:28am

She's firing now. Not long for Wexford/Waterford. I still think around 5:15 or thereabouts there.

29-06-2019 4:29am

It's definitely going to hit before I leave here around 7:30 at lease my end of the Country but might see something on the way home.

Yep , think so too and definitely have passed by the time I get home but hopefully see it on the way home.

What is your location Mad_Lad?

*County - not address!:D

29-06-2019 4:31am

A good O'l Biscay Thunderstorm, I haven't seen that in a very long time so hopefully it's a good one !

Just a few Km North of Carlow Town, working in Dublin.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 4:33am

This looking like bullseye for Dublin anyhow - yellow warning territory actually.

29-06-2019 4:34am

I'm a bit worried because I haven't unplugged my 40 Meter long ham radio antenna, seriously was not expecting anything like this or I would have but I can remote operate it from work so unplugging would be a pain, I haven't got lightning suppression on it yet, it is grounded which will give me some protection but I should have the lightning suppression on the coax to the shack...............

Yeah it’s a little more west than I thought it would be.
Was thinking it would be a coastal hugger but it looks like it will be just inland of the coast

29-06-2019 4:36am

It is a little more west but the East should get a nice show especially if it keeps the intensity up.

29-06-2019 4:37am

Met Eireann usually update their forecast around 5:30.

Yeah very good chance alright. Could be mostly elevated though but sure look we will take what we are given!

See what happens to the first cells as they hit the coast. Usually tells the story for the rest of them.

DP’s are decentish at around 14/15c

29-06-2019 4:47am

Here she comes

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 4:50am

Visible will be available soon

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/visual

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 5:01am

Should be hearing the first rumbles around now off the southeast coast.

pad199207 · 29-06-2019 5:08am

Plenty of back building in the cells

29-06-2019 5:11am

Showing on the radar now too looks like it might track a little further west than we like but early yet.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 5:12am

Strikes now just off southeast coasts

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/visual

prinzeugen · 29-06-2019 5:16am

Looks like its too far west to hit Dublin! Feck this weather!

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 5:16am

She's on fire

There is an easterly tilt to the flow as it moves north. It's looking quite good for Dublin (or bad depending on perspective!)

RubyK · 29-06-2019 5:20am

Rumbles of thunder in Tramore.

RubyK · 29-06-2019 5:24am

Lightening has started in Tramore also.

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 5:26am

It begins

Short but intense downpour in Durrow. Came out of nowhere.

ZX7R · 29-06-2019 5:37am

Orange warning up from met earann for thunder storms

Kermit.de.frog · 29-06-2019 5:39am

This is yellow warning territory at least. Danno you are not far off now.

https://en.sat24.com/en/gb/infraPolair
